Julia Busiek '09 says:My comps [senior comprehensive project] topic will probably examine the impact of China's invasion and occupation on the religious, ethnic, and political lives of Tibetans.

For my Environmental Studies capstone project I want to look at land management in National Parks. The relationship between conservation, preservation, and fair access to our Parks is really engaging, and I want to think more about ways in which they can all interact, rather than being mutually exclusive aims.
